1972 Map of Lindeke Coulee

About this map

The Milk River dominates this Valley County landscape, winding in tight, complex oxbows across the southern reach of the quadrangle. This 1970s survey captures the intersection of natural watercourses and the irrigation infrastructure of the period, including the South Canal and an extensive Aqueduct system. The terrain is defined by dramatic erosion patterns, most notably the deep incisions of Lindeke Coulee and Espeil Coulee, which drain the northern plateau toward the river valley. The Fort Peck Indian Reservation Boundary runs through the eastern portion of the map, while the Burlington Northern railroad tracks parallel the river's northern bank. Local landmarks include Memorial Gardens (Cem) and several scattered Gravel Pits, indicating the small-scale extractive industries supporting the area's development.
